Few days ago there was a kernel update for 12.3, 13.1 and 13.2. In the 13.1 update repository together with the kernel update there were also the updates of the out of tree kernel modules (ipset-kmp, cloop-kmp, vhba-kmp, etc.). Such (necessary) updates are missing for 13.2.
The modules should still load as-is. KMPs are packaged in a framework that will make them work in newer kernels.
Are you seeing this as not to be the case?
In my case (I have kernel multiversion disabled in zypp.conf) the update to kernel 3.16.7-7.1 will install as well kernel-<flavor>-base 3.16.6-2.1. During the installation of such base kernel I see these messages: depmod: WARNING: /lib/modules/3.16.6-2-desktop/updates/vboxvideo.ko needs unknown symbol drm_open depmod: WARNING: /lib/modules/3.16.6-2-desktop/updates/vboxvideo.ko needs unknown symbol drm_poll depmod: WARNING: /lib/modules/3.16.6-2-desktop/updates/vboxvideo.ko needs unknown symbol drm_pci_init depmod: WARNING: /lib/modules/3.16.6-2-desktop/updates/vboxvideo.ko needs unknown symbol drm_ioctl depmod: WARNING: /lib/modules/3.16.6-2-desktop/updates/vboxvideo.ko needs unknown symbol drm_mmap depmod: WARNING: /lib/modules/3.16.6-2-desktop/updates/vboxvideo.ko needs unknown symbol drm_pci_exit depmod: WARNING: /lib/modules/3.16.6-2-desktop/updates/vboxvideo.ko needs unknown symbol drm_release
These warnings seems to be normal.
It this normal? How to avoid anyway the installation of kernel-<flavor>-base?
This is not clear though. Did zypper report something? CIao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
